Zach Gilligan
Drinaghan, Strandhill, Co. Sligo
Zach is the man behind the wheel of the Citroën C2. Raised in Drinaghan, Strandhill, on the Sligo coast, he combines raw commitment with a calm, calculated approach — and at 21 he's only getting started. When he's not left-foot braking the C2 into a hedge-lined left-hander, he's playing football for the famous Carbury FC.

Josh Gilligan
Drinaghan, Strandhill, Co. Sligo
Josh calls the notes in the hot seat of the C2. Precise, unflappable and obsessed with preparation, he turns recce into rhythm — the pace-note delivery that lets Zach commit flat over blind crests. Off the stages he plays for Cartron United, Super League Champions of Sligo, and runs the team's logistics, strategy and sponsorship programme.
